Chapter 173: Brotherly Advice
"Seventh brother, is this knife really given to me?" No matter how sure Liu Fan was that this was the third time Liu Long asked Liu Fan, although he was excited in his heart, he couldn't accept that Liu Fan would give him such a valuable knife, the holy knife, this holy knife that was lost in the empire thousands of years ago when he destroyed the Blood Knife Gate, would one day be his Liu Long's saber.
Liu Fan's face was helpless, after all, he had seen so many heaven-level weapons Liu Fan was not a countryman, Liu Fan deliberately said in an aggravated tone: "Big brother, if you continue to ask like this, I will have to withdraw this weapon." β
"No, no, since you gave it to me, Seventh Brother, this weapon is mine, and I won't give it to you. Liu Long stuck the blood-drinking knife behind him, and reached out to knock Liu Fan's outstretched hand away, causing the brothers to laugh.
"All right, you brothers are together, sit down and talk, come, sit down. Liu Xiaohuan hurriedly stood up with a smile on his face and asked Liu Fan's brothers to sit down, and the brothers also let go of the estrangement in their hearts, and found a place to sit down one by one, and the brothers who did not have a seat had to sit aside.
Liu Fan's elder brothers sat on the top and their faces were no longer happy at the beginning, although the Liu family had received the order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes for a long time, but when these people really did it was after Liu Ruxun died, and now with Liu Ruxun's death, there are also the third and fourth uncles, and the death of the fourth uncle, who has always been kind and friendly, makes everyone's conversation a little heavy.
"Minmin, is she okay?, a lot of words, the third uncle and the fourth uncle, are they okay?". Liu Fan sat in the first place, and Liu Xiaohuan was already supported by the maid into the inner room. gave up the entire living room to Liu Fan's brothers.
"They're okay, but they can't accept this fact at once, and they're a little depressed, and you know that Brother Ming's brain also has some problems. So the fourth uncle can only rely on Min Min alone. My mother's side has me and my sisters, but it's nothing. It was Liu Xu, the son of Liu Fan's third uncle, who spoke.
"Big brother, you have to help take care of the fourth uncle's side, it is very likely that I will leave the house again in a few days, and now my grandfather can still support the affairs of the family, and now there is only the second uncle left in our house, have you contacted my aunt?" Liu Fan's heart was also a little sad, after all, this family is the most hode, except for Liu Xiaohuan, the fourth uncle Liu Rule.
Liu Long nodded and said, "Fourth Uncle, I have already asked my little sister to help watch it, but my aunt's side of our family did not notify them to come over." Now those enemies have not found their aunt's house, and my grandfather is afraid of causing them trouble, so he only informed them to strengthen their guard, and did not let them do anything else. β
"That's fine, the aunt who gets married has their own family protection. It's okay for our Liu family to solve the affairs by ourselves, but eldest brother, you must take your brothers to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and it is best to suggest that your grandfather recruit people from the rivers and lakes as guards, so as to solve the problem of our Liu family's lack of manpower. β
Liu Long shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this thing won't work." If it was before, this idea might still be feasible, but not now, you know that the main enemies of our Liu family are these people in the rivers and lakes, and if our Liu family recruits guards, it will be easy for this group of people to fish in troubled waters. In this way, the situation of our Liu family is even more dangerous. β
"Hmph, it's all from the imperial court. Our Liu family was born and died for them, and in turn, they did not agree to form a conquest army. Even the dragoons were only stationed in the palace with a small number of men, and there was not even an army stationed in the barracks outside the city. Liu Fan's third brother Liu Leopard was very angry on the side, after all, the Liu family was hunted down by people in the rivers and lakes because of the empire.
"Third brother, don't say that, the imperial court also has the hardships of the imperial court, it is not our family that has been assassinated, the king of Pingdong, the king of Pingnan, the king of Pingbei, the four kings have all encountered different degrees of assassination, the Eight Martial Marquis, the Kong Sheng family, and even the royal family have not been spared, the dragoons are not enough, and it is already a special favor of the royal family to send a team of dragoons to the Liu family. "Liu Long can learn to deal with some government affairs with Liu Yu, and naturally understands more information in the court than Liu Leopard. ...,
The willow leopard snorted coldly, and said in his mouth: "Speaking of which, it's not all the eunuchs who are making a hindrance. β
Everyone was stunned by Liu Leopard's words, and Liu Long's face immediately turned cold and reprimanded: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting into trouble." β
"Big brother, what the third brother said is also true, if it weren't for the eunuch's henchmen who obstructed the conquest of the army several times, this matter would have been passed a long time ago, where would there be so much trouble. Liu Zhen was also quite angry, originally he came to Liu Fan today to Daoqian was forced by Liu Long, Liu Fan gave Liu Long a holy knife as soon as they met, which made Liu Zhen's heart even more uncomfortable, and at the same time, he was even more resentful of Liu Fan in his heart, if it wasn't for Liu Fan and the Xia family's marriage, it should be him, and he hated Liu Fan even more for being able to change from a waste to a top master in a short period of time, this shame Liu Zhen couldn't tolerate anyway.
Liu Long still had to open his mouth to reprimand, and the other children also followed and scolded, after all, many people in the family had died because of this incident, if it weren't for Zhang Rang's several obstructions, I'm afraid the Liu family and the Xia family would not have paid such a heavy price. Liu Fan and Liu Long glanced at each other, neither of them expected that things would develop like this.
"Okay, let's be quiet, don't talk nonsense, be careful of bringing trouble to our family?" Liu Long slapped on the armrest of the chair, and everyone immediately quieted down, and Liu Long reprimanded with anger on his face: "Do you still think that the Liu family has not encountered enough things?
"Big brother, we didn't mean that, we just"
"Shut up, I'm not here today to listen to your complaints, don't forget what you're doing today, I don't have time to listen to you complain. Liu Long reprimanded loudly, everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak but sat on the chair without saying a word, Liu Long glanced at everyone, looked at Liu Fan and said, "Seventh brother, I came this time to discuss something with you." β
Liu Fan stretched out a hand and said, "Big brother, please speak." β
"This time we came mainly to discuss with the seventh brother to see if the seventh brother has a way to reduce the family's casualties, the assassination casualties in the past few days are too heavy, and if we come here like this a few times, our Liu family may not have anyone to fight the enemy. Liu Long's tone was quite helpless, although the family is very large, but if it is the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes, this family is so small, even if he is a thousand-year-old family, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Liu family is just a member of the rivers and lakes.
"Big brother, you just told me, our family's casualties are mainly from the military camp outside the city, as for the imperial capital are some small-scale assassinations, there are Confucianism, Taoism and other decent Taoist systems in the imperial capital, and those who are shallow in cultivation can't enter the imperial capital at all, and the military camp where our Liu family is stationed is originally the place where my army is stationed, although it is not far from the city gate, but if the Liu family is attacked, it will not be able to support it at the first time, even if the Praetorian Guard is not the opponent of these people, it is difficult to say, and the masters of our Liu family want to sit in the imperial capital, so the outside of the city is our weaknessγ β
"Big brother, why don't we transfer these people to the imperial capital?" Liu Fan was a little strange, since there were relatively few attacks in the imperial capital, and the masters of the Liu family were all in the city, how could these people be allowed to be outside the city.
Liu Long shook his head a little helplessly and said: "It's not that we don't want to, but we can't, although our Pingxi Royal Mansion seems to have a big family, it is not easy to support more than 20,000 people in vain, and there is a lack of enough places to accommodate these people in this imperial capital." β
"Then we have no choice but the army, and if we want to protect this large group of people, it is impossible to do everything without the protection of the army. Liu Fan shook his head, there is indeed no way to do this kind of situation, without the escort of the army, it is even more difficult to protect these people.
Liu Long still shook his head and said: "This is impossible, most of the army in the imperial capital has been transferred, and now the only army has to guard all the key points in the imperial capital, and also protect the major families, besides, our Liu family does not have an army in our hands, and it is even more difficult to protect the army." β
"There's only one way. Liu Fan wrote three words on the table, Liu Long glanced at it, the essence in his eyes flashed, and then nodded solemnly. (To be continued......) ...... οΌ
